In-ear-headphones not available?

[ITH44_Train]

When I first purchased the Fairphone 3 I received a free set of in-ear-headphones. I wanted to get replacements parts and found that the cable is available, but I didn’t see the product as a whole or at least the actual headphone. Do you know if this is still available?

The “modular earphones” are discontinued. Cannot provide an official announcement, but they have been discontinued for quite a while.

Earphones discontinued

Hi, I bought the earphones (with wire) early 2020 for my FP3. They lasted less than a year, one of the earthings broke. Then I bought a new pair, and that’s also broken now, the cable connecting the right earphone with the microphone. Both earphone-sets cannot be repaired, no screws etc. That’s a bit disappointing, because it would have made sense to make a ,new’ set out of the old half-broken ones. And now I see the product is not even available any more. Not really big in sustainability. …

Hi, thanks for the heads up. That’s a bit unfortunate as the quality is overall pretty good and I really don’t want to buy wireless ones. I guess I’ll get the cable while I can and hope for the best…

Cheers

The cable has ‘standard’ MMCX connectors. So you can get a replacement any time from different manufactures. No need to buy one in advance.

BTW: Are you really talking about the modular InEar headset, and not the pair which was or is delivered in France for example?

Hi, thanks for the tip. It’s good to know I can always find other manufacturers, although I wanted to buy from Fairphone specifically to support them. It’s very unfortunate the direction they are taking with the removal of the jack connector, and now this.

I’m talking about the modular InEar headset, it’s the same that was delivered with the purchase of FP3 during the release promo. It should be the one that matches this picture: Fairphone 3 - Earphones Spare Cable | Fairphone
